Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Patricia combines psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to support clients in online formats. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns, early relationships, and underlying emotions to deepen self-understanding and address long-standing interpersonal difficulties. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for strong emotions, relationship challenges, and coping during crises.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates insight-oriented work with skills training so that treatment is both reflective and actionable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for scheduling and access - sessions may occur by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to engage in therapy from different settings and at times that suit their lives. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapeutic tools in real-world moments when they are most needed.
